I'm in North County Dublin and am starting to switch my mortgage. Part of this will include involving a solicitor to do whatever it is they do (I don't really know) in this process.
When I bought my house a decade ago I just went down to my local solicitor. They did their work and gave me a bill for 2 and a half grand.
So this time I want to be a bit more informed and price around.
I'll be meeting with my banks over the next couple of weeks and I presume they'll help with my requirements.
But what questions should I be asking of a solicitor? How much should I be expecting to pay roughly (house worth €380K, mortgage worth €250K) and if anybody can recommend any good ones I'd appreciate it.
Qwerty, I just completed a switch myself in North County Dublin (using a local firm this time, rather than the original firm).
Brendan is correct - I simply emailed them asking for a quote for switching a mortgage which turned out to be very competitive, and am very happy with their service. Direct Law, in Skerries (no affiliation).
